The Sheriff's Office.

We welcome the coming and speed
the parting officer. Besides it is due
so faithful public officer as Sheriff
Mackey has been to publicly acknowl-
edge the fact. He is one of the few
men who retire from the sheriffalty even
a stronger man in the good will of the
people, than when he assumed its
duties. By strict official lmpartiality,
by courteous bearing, by kindness OF
heart and Christian integrity. he has
won the good opinions of this cciii-
munity. We tender him and his ami
able wife and household the assurance
of the public esteem. To his successor
Mr.. Johnson, we extend our sincere
wishes for an equally successful term
of Office. He brings into the sherifialty
the gratifying evidences Of the good
will of the voters of the county, and we
predict for him a successful official
career

CHEsTERTowN, Nov. 9.-The election
just passed wasone of the lIar,est fought
political fights ever made IN this county,
and a very large vote VS. polled with
unprecedented cutting. The Democrats
made "a dead set against Senator Burch
inal, and traded oft any part or the whole
ticket to defeat him, but with all their
means were unable to down him, and he
carries the county bv larger majority
than four years ago. Some repeating was
done i'll the Third district, and one of the
perpetrators is now in the county Jail.
The whole ticket made gains. The day
was very quiet and peaceable. Mr.. Jesse

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
THE RESULT MARYLAND.
RETURNS FROM OTHER sTATES-NEw
JERSEY REPUBIICAN
MARYLAND.

While the State has gone Democratic
by reduced majority and the smallest
received by any governor tor the last
twenty years, one gratifying result is the
defeat of the constitutional convention
scheme by Il very heavy ma Jority, prob
ably II, 600. In many counties the Re
pubhcaus have won material victories,
as in Cecil, Hartford, Anne Arundel, Kent,
Washington, Frederick and Talbot. IL
Baltimore the total vote was 20, 5S3 OF
which Jackson, Democrat, received "a,
5S7; Brooks, Republican, 1889, and
Baldwin, Prohibltionist, 1859, a Demo
cratic majority of 5,5S9. The entire Leg.
islative ticket is Democratic as far as the
city is concerned. George May is elected
sheriff, Charles e. Kerr, States attorney
both showing larger majorities thar
Jackson who was cut, to some extent, by
the knights OF Labor.

The Cecil Whig., 1887-11-12

THE verdict of the taxpayers of Cecil
county expressed at the polls on Tues
day, sustains the position taken by the
Republicans in the campaign just
closed, that the administration of local
affairs by the Democrats has not been
satisfactory to the people.
And why'
MOI that there has been even whls-
pered during the canvass the slightest
reflection upon the integrity, or honesty
OF a single county official, or any charge
made that the monies of the people
have been mlsappropriated.
Why then have between six and
seven hundred Democrats voted against
their party nominees for County Com
missioners, and thrown their ballots for
the Republican candidates for that
office, as the returns for 1887, com
pared with those of 1885,, show is the
facto
Simply because the convection has
become general in Cecil county, that
the financial management of successive
boards of commissioners mas been too
extravagant, and that too large pro-
portion of the money levied upon and
collected from the property owners of
the county has been expended in the
salaries of officials, and in a too care
less system of expenditure and disburse-
ment. Past boards of County Com
missoners have unfortunately in too
equent instances, themselves set the
example for unwarrantable raids upon
the county treasury, by charging inor-
dinate amounts for official service. The
tendency always exists to charge the
county liberally for every service rem
dered on public account, and the idea
seems ever present, that the county is

We congratulate the tax payers OF
Cecil county upon the overwhelming
defeat of the New Constitution scheme.
One of our contemporaries truly says,
that Mr.. German made this a personal
contest, and the measure of his politi
cal influence in the State. That he
threw into its advocacy all his strength,
and all the resources of his practical ex-
perience in very practical politics. 1t
nevertheless did not succeed and the
people of Maryland have thereby saved
themselves the expense of this unnec-
essary political project, conceived solely
for the benefit of its projectors. This,
OF itself is a full compensation for the
labor end anxiety of the exciting cam
paign brought to an end on Tuesday !;
but other practical results are sure to
follow, which justify the prediction that
we are on the eve OF the accomplish
ment of the main issue, "honest regis
tration and fair elections" In spite OF
the efforts of the bosses and their Or
gans to divert attention from the real
nature of the fight, it became apparent
at last to the bulk OF the voters that it
was absolutely non-partizan, that good
Democrats were aligned shoulder to
shoulder with good Republicans to
sweep away the obnoxious political
methods which have SO long prevailed
IN The State. In the counties where
acceptable Democ Gratis were nom
mated for office party lines were more
strictly drawn; but where it was appar-
ent that the nominees were tie Crea-
lures of the ring, the Democrats joined
with the Republicans in rejecting them

OHIO.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-The complete
footlngs Tor Hamilton county are not yet
made, but enough is shown to make it
clear that the Republican plurality will
be about 10000 The United Labor
leaders are disappointed and Respondent.
They were confident that they would
elect their Legislative ticket, but when
the returns showed losses in their stron
gest wards they quIckly gave up all as
lost. One ,f the leaders says there is no
chaLce tor labor party here. A victory
was needed to hold the men together,
but now it will be useless to attempt to
elect the ticket in Hamilton county. The
evidences of a combination are seen in
che figures of the Governors vote and
that of the Legislative ticket. The I'M
ion Labor Legislative ticket i'll Cincin-
natl is from 1000 to 5000 greater than for
its Governor, while the Democratic vote
for Governor is about 1000 greater than
tor its Legislative ticket Governor For
aker'S vote is from 600 to 1000 below the
vote on the Republicans Legislative ticket.

ed, the first time on the local tlcke,
since the war. The causes were Demo
cratic dissensions, superiuduced by tho
hands of the Democratic state managers
in shaming the Democratic ticket of this
county. The majority of the Democracy
ot this county, as aScertained by the pop,
ular vote of the July primaries, were en-
tirely ignored, except in the nomination
of Mr.. Ireland for States attorney, and
his defeat is a tributed by some of his
best friends today to the bad faith OF

in trading him off. He is beaten by nearly
two hundred votes. and yet the Indepen
dent Democrats-tive hundred strong
supported him. Ii Mr. Ireland has re
